Hey guys
Before hitting buy on one of these, can someone please explain to me how dual sim works? Preferably with some screenshots. This is going to be my first dual-sim phone
I understand dual sim dual standby, in that both sims can use 3G/4G but only one at a time. Do you decide which SIM is the main active one for data in software?
Thanks
Ive got the prime
I can choose Internet from sim 1 and call from sim 2

Hi,
has anyone successfully used a dual sim adapter with the LG E900 Optimus 7 ?
I am looking to buy this phone but need the dual sim.
thanks for your help and replies.
Yea i've used one of these before with a MagicSim 28th gen cut.

I'm very interested on the matter, could you please let me know how you can switch from one sim to the other with the LG Optimus 7.
Do you have a dedicated WP7 application to install or the phone automatically detects the dual sim adapter?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
hjkl;' why no delete?
Send me a PM and i'll point you to where i get mine from.
Having a lot of private messages asking where i get it from so i'll put it here.
"directdevices" on ebay. The cutting version isn't listed but if you message them they have them in stock
Hope this helps everyone!
Can you tell me please, how you switch between the sim cards. Because I have the Magicsim 28th but I can't switch between the SIM cards.
Thank you
Have you found the stk (sim tool kit) menu?
No i didn't find the STK menu.
I thought Windows Phone 7 don't has a STK ?
What's the deal with this? Looking for a dual sim adapter for my girlfriend who has this phone.
Did it work out ok?
I can confirm that the Magicsim 28th gen PLUS works on this phone for anyone thats interested.
Got it from www.magic-sim.com
I've had 2 off them now for a couple of different phones and i'm dead pleased.

Yes there is an stk menu.
Thank you very much Daniel
Hi I got the Adapter for my HD7 Pro and i cant find the stk menu.
Can anybody tell me where it is, or tell me how to change the sim.
I requestet support from the vendor but they say if i cant find the stk, i should have to change to android ?! wtf
Please help
They may be right....what firmware you running?
I run the firmwareversion: 2250.21.30201.207
an mango: 7.10.7720.68
Yea I'd guess they're probably right. From my understanding some newer windows versions have stopped supporting stk.
Your best bet is getting over to android as it works real well on my setup. I'm on 2.3.5 if that helps?
Good luck.
OK, i think i try another Adapter, this time a analog one, maybe this works
Thank you for your fast support
No probs... Although I'd be aware that no dual sim adapter will work without an stk menu. So your only real option is to change firmware if you want dual sim capabilities.
Has anyone tried using a T-Mobile SIM in a smartphone as either a strictly data only device or in a device with two SIM trays for supplementary data? I am very interested in doing this with the 5x if it is possible. Thanks in advance.
There is a selection for which sim you want to use for Mobile Data in the SIM Management however since the device is a Dual Sim Passive device you will have to manually change to the Data only SIM once you run out of data on your primary phone SIM.

Perhaps I did not phrase my original question properly, I am wondering whether or not I can use the T-Mobile tablet specific sim in a phone. I know that I can use two sims and switch between them however, I do not know if T-Mobile will allow me to use a tablet sim in a phone.

Yes. I have done so.
Yes per T-Mobile support. I asked them directly when I tried to do this. And what crpalmer said.
I went ahead and got a tablet sim, 2gb for $20. I can confirm that it is working in the 5x. Thank you all for the help.
Difference between tablet and phone plan
What is the technical difference between the tablet and phone plans? I have a tablet Sim in my second slot and I am able to receive and send text messages. When I go on the website it lists my plan as having unlimited text and calls. Could I use this as my primary phone plan?
Hi, i read on gsmarena that honor 7 is dual sim stand by that means that both sims cant be active at the same time, is it true?
I want to insert another sim in my honor 7 and want to use both sims simultaneously. How can i make it work?

It is dual sim stand by. I used one sim on honor 7 to call another on the same phone and it worked.
Just slide another sim in and give the above method a try to make sure.

Yeah i know it is dual stand by so that means both sims cant be active at the same time, that is where im confused.
Are you using two sims for daily use?

Yep. Two sims all the time... Both sims are active and as I said, you can even use sim1 to ring sim2 in the same phone meaning even if you are in call at sim1 and someone calls you on sim2, it will ring and you will have the option to put sim1 on hold and receive sim2 call.
Hope my explanation makes sense

It depends on the variant you have. Most don't have two full modems for it.
You need to check calling your SIM 2 number from SIM 1 and vice versa.

I am from Pakistan and using both sims simultaneously. The model is PLK-L01.
You can use one sim for 3g/4g and the other works on 2g only..
Feel free to ask whatever information you need.

Nope, you can just go to settings>dual sim settings and change your other sim to perform 4g/3g and the first one to perform 2g. If I remember correctly, you don't even need a restart.
It just takes 4,5 secs and you are good to use 4g on the second sim.

My phone has 2 physical sim slots and an esim option. I have all 3 installed on my phone.
If I try to activate sim 2 I have to deactivate the esim. My question is if it is somehow possible to deactivate sim 1 and keep sim 2 and the esim active at the same time.
Thanks for your help

I think the Esim share the same IMEI with the sim 2 , so may be it is not possible , try it yourself and see I don't have access to esim in my country right now to test
